Another new game shipping from GMT this week, PQ-17, is also a naval warfare game that uses wooden blocks to mark fleets and cardboard counters off-map to indicate individual ships. This one, though, is a World War II game, where the Allied player is attempting to move convoys to Russia while having to cope with difficult arctic weather and persistent Axis warships and air power. PQ-17 is an operational-level game where fuel limitations have a real impact and combat is abstracted.
